"Sir, we traced the person who was responsible for buying a number of the shares of the company." The auditor who was in charge of the accounts told him.

"Who was it?" Nick asked as he stopped whatever he was doing to focus his attention on the man standing in front of him with the files in his hands.

He already suspected someone, but he did not expect he would eventually learn his identity this fast. He must be getting careless for him to catch him this early in the game.

Ethan was cunning, but he was not stupid. He must have something up his sleeves. He had to be more careful around him because he had suspected all the while that Ethan was not done with him yet.

He was not done with him too. His new game was only beginning, and this time he intended to win. But his thought was cut short when his man spoke the name of his secret investor.

"He is Mr. Alexander Princeton. He is the CEO of..." The man was not able to finish as he silenced him.

"I already know who he is," Nick shouted in anger as he trashed the papers in front of him, making them scattered all over the place. He was starting to know Alex too well.

He did not see that Alex would target his company and him, but he should have thought about it. From the way, Alex tried to protect Dani from him. Alex was turning out to become a pain in the ass.

First, he took a large portion of the industry upon his arrival. Second, Alex took Dani from him. Then, he learned that Alex was working with Ethan.

Now, instead of Ethan, he just found out that Alex was the one messing up with his company. He had to find out what he was doing, buying his shares. Or, was this all Ethan's doing? Are they teaming up and planning against him?

"Sir, what do you want me to do with this information?" The man remained standing as he held on to the papers.

He had worked hard for this company. Although his boss was temperamental with his dealings with his employees, he still paid well. He could not lose this job. He needed the enormous salary he was receiving for doing a magnificent job for him.

Nick remained silent for a while as if his earlier outburst had passed. He needed to keep calm so he could devise a new plan. He did not reach this point in his career to give up and lose to a man like Alex.

"Now, find out what he is doing with my shares. I want the full details. Who is working with him with this move?" He instructed his man to dig more.

He had to prepare for whatever Alex was planning. Compared to him, Alex was still a tiny fish in this big corporate world they belonged to. He believed that he could easily swallow him whole.

But with Ethan supporting him, Alex had a whale covering his back. And it would be hard for him to tackle both of them at the same time. He would need an ally that he could use against them.

"Yes, Sir." The man immediately left him to do his bidding. He knew that finding him the information he wanted would be tricky. But if he did it right, it could be rewarding.

Nick was finally left alone with his thoughts, not minding the mess he created earlier. He knew that his timeline should move up when Alex was starting to meddle with his plans.

"I'm leaving. I have an emergency. Cancel all my schedules for today." He called his secretary.

He grabbed his coat and left his office in a hurry. His secretary would deal with his office and tidied it up. As of now, it was the least of his worries. He had more important things to do.

He had to find a way to bring Alex and Ethan down and take his rightful place at the top. He was still hesitant with his plans because he knew that it was not enough to bring Ethan down. He needed more.

"Cassie, where are you?" He called her as he maneuvered his car along with the traffic.

At Cassie's house, she answered her phone after the third ring. "My house. Why?" She frowned her brows as she heard the agitation in his tone. She already knew that something happened, and it was not good.

She wondered what it was, but asking him over the phone would do her no good because it would be a futile effort. He would never divulge any information until he felt it was the right time.

"I'm coming over." He said and ended the call without even waiting for her reply.

She had planned to go out shopping, but now it would seem she had to cancel and wait for him instead. She dropped her bag back at her vanity table and checked on her appearance in the mirror.

She decided to change instead into something she knew he would like. Maybe that would make him happy and tell her everything that was bothering him. Any information he would share with her would be valuable in her plans.

"Let me see if you can resist this." She took out the new lingerie she bought the other day just for him.

It would surely make him wild just by seeing it on her. She hoped he would not tear it into pieces because of its delicate material. She did like this pair. But then again, she could always buy a new one.

She was about to get out of her room when a knock came on her front door. She wondered if that was already Nick. She did not find out if he was already near when he called.

But the soft knock did not seem to be him. He was usually impatient and demanding. So, Cassie contemplated who could be behind the door when she was not expecting anyone else.

"Wait." She shouted as she grabbed her robe and wrapped it around her, tying the belt tightly on her waist.

When she opened the door, she was indeed surprised because he was the last person she wanted to see right now.
